The primary upside of using a high street Shrewsbury conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute documents, deliver your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and they were happy that should surpass using an unfamiliar Shrewsbury conveyancing lawyer just because they are Shrewsbury based.
